Mended from many pieces; complete save for chips. Flat-bottomed oinochoe with round body, straight narrow neck, trefoil mouth and double vertical handle. On lip outside, row of dots between wide bands; ... 5 March 1935 ... Four round holes in the body, one in front, one in back, and one at each side, are connected by two hollow clay tubes passing through the body. The tube connecting the holes at front and back is set slightly below that which connects the holes at the sides. The tubes are an integral part of the pot, and were made before it was painted.
